Originating from the iconic life simulation franchise by Maxis and EA, The Sims memes focus on the absurdity of 'Sim logic'—from characters dying in a fire because a plate is blocking their path to the god-like cruelty of players removing pool ladders while their Sims are swimming. The visual hallmark of these memes is often the green diamond 'Plumbob' hovering over a person's head to indicate their mood or status. These memes resonate globally because they tap into the shared experiences of millions of players who have navigated the game's glitchy AI, peculiar social interactions, and the boundless potential for both wholesome domesticity and absolute chaos.
